Carolyn's music elicits emotions of well being, satisfaction, gratitude, comfort, and affection.. her latest album "By The Sea" continues to add to her legacy.. the album is perfect for quiet moments (by a fire, leisurely drive) of reflection on a great day, week, event, holiday, life… as with all great music, it can go many ways with the listener - and so, a word of caution is in order - listen with care, if feeling at all melancholy.. my fave and most meaningful track is currently the title song, but such is the artistry of the whole album, I expect each piece will eventually take it's turn at the top of my fave list..

When Chrissa moves to a new school in the middle of the year, she is greeted by the girls in her fourth-grade class with teasing and tricks. The “Mean Bees” really know how to sting—and they bully her in class, on the bus, online, and even at swim club. Then the biggest bully becomes Chrissa’s swimming rival, and the teasing and taunting finally go too far. Will Chrissa find a way to stand strong and stop the bullying?

Those of us who rejoice in the crystalline beauty of Carolyn Sampson’s interpretations of Bach, Handel and Purcell will welcome this bouquet of songs on a floral theme, her debut recital disc. It’s been a long wait, but our patience is repaid handsomely. With pianist Joseph Middleton she savours some choice blooms from, among others, Britten, Chabrier, Schubert, Schumann, Gounod and Strauss, her glorious soprano particularly affecting in Fauré’s Le papillon et la fleur and the wonderfully perfumed Les roses d’Ispahan. Middleton plays with dextrous delicacy throughout and brings real virtuosity to Strauss’s Mädchenblumen. Highly recommended.
